Stock SS wheels. Best brakes?

interesting to see more people gravitating to the c7/ats setup now. From the info I have read, the at's setup will clear a 17" wheel no problem, only mod needs is drill the caliper mounting holes to m14. The z51 brakes are the same as the ats setup, only difference is that it's a 13.6 rotor, and will need an 18" wheel. It's also a 200 dollar price difference. For aggressive street driving, the ats setup will be a world of difference with 12.6 rotors. For more track or auto x, I would do the z51 if you have the wheels. Plus EVERYTHING is off the shelf parts that you dot need to machine to fit.

I know Sam strano likes to promote the wilwood setup he sells but at 600 dollars more.... but he says the consumables are much cheaper then stock replacement options..... but like you said, if need be, I can go to autozone and get replacements parts that are more accessible

Also understand that mentality, and if this "project" car wasn't so budget oriented I would do the V set up as well. I was actually researching it and figuring out what I needed for it, then stumbled upon the ATS option. The machine shop I suppose isn't that bad, probably worth it to get a few sets of rotors done at once, re Cosmoline them up and stick em on a shelf for when you need em.

Heres my setup. They are great brakes and offer a lot of pad options. Stock corvette c7 calipers and rotors. The rotor hub bore and offset is correct for the ls1 fbody. Only thing needed was to bore hub mounting holes to 14mm/9/16'' to accept the new brembo calipers - also required on other setups.

This right there is why I'm gathering parts for this upgrade, it's functional, and uses, for the most part, readily accessible parts. Especially the "consumables" of pads and rotors. That coupled with the ability to clear with a smaller and probably cheaper and bigger wheel selection, makes it an obvious winner for a low budget all around car like I'm building.

The ATS Brembo is the same as the LT Camaro Brembo. Takes smaller diameter rotor
Caliper hydraulics/pistons are the same, ears are the variance between the two.

I should have specified.... c7 z51 are the same as 6th gen SS Brembos. Larger rotor
The ATS Brembo is the same as the LT Camaro Brembo. Takes smaller diameter rotor
Caliper hydraulics/pistons are the same, ears are the variance between the two.
